environment variable at boot


Hi,
I want to run Tomcat at startup.
For that, I need the variable JAVA_HOME to be defined.

I edited /etc/rc.d/rc.local

and added this:
export JAVA_HOME="/opt/jdk1.5.0_04"
export CATALINA_HOME="/opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9"
/usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd &
/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
/opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/bin/startup.sh

pure-ftpd and apache starts fine, but tomcat doesn't.
It says that JAVA_HOME is not defined.
Is there something wrong with my syntax?
Or maybe rc.local does not accecpt that type of statement?

Please help,

Thanks

edit the /etc/profile and add the following lines:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java
CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat

export JAVA_HOME CATALINA_HOME
